Williamson County Library

Resolve to be Organized” is an inspirational and timely presentation at the Franklin library.  Every year you say, “I’m going to be more organized this year” but for some reason, it never happens.  It can!  It’s a different world out there today, and your resolutions may focus on simplifying, streamlining and slowing down.  Being organized can help you achieve your goals by making things easier in your life.  I will present basic organizing principles, as well as tips and techniques to be more organized and keep those New Year’s resolutions.  Here’s your chance to ask those questions and get some real answers about how to be organized – and stay organized!  Contact Paige Hurst at 615-595-1250 to reserve your spot!

March 1, 2007… I would like to express my sincerest thanks for the thoughts and prayers from my friends, family, clients and business acquaintances during my recent, and successful, battle with thyroid cancer. Many have asked how I knew I had it. Well, I didn’t, but I knew something wasn’t quite right when I kept feeling an odd pressure in my throat. So, I offer my greatest gratitude to Dory Turney at Dr. Frank Caprio’s office with Heritage Medical Associates for hounding me to get in for an ultrasound, which resulted in finding nodules on my thyroid. Special thanks also to Dr. Rekha Pandula, my endocrinologist, and Dr. Kathleen Crews Williams, my surgeon. My recent scan, after my radiation therapy, showed that the cancer should be eradicated from any thyroid cells and lymph nodes. Now, it’s a matter of regaining my strength and stamina. The hardest part for me has been accepting the help and support of others, which is difficult for someone like me. I just want these people to know how much they are appreciated, and how much they helped me get through this. And for anyone who doesn’t feel quite right… please have it checked out, even if you are the one who is always taking care of everyone else—take care of yourself first!

— Liz
